Interfacial Force Sensors

Here is a video highlighting the features of the interfacial force sensor targeting biomechanical applications that I have been developing over the last year.  The sensor is unique in its ability to flex and stretch in 3 dimensions for a perfect and enduring fit.

The second video shows you the sensor’s response to a foot step. The pressure distribution shows the distribution is skewed to the right side of the heel. Towards the end of the step, there is significant shear in the X-direction (direction of travel) along the edge as the foot pushes of the platform.
